Bearings are mechanical components that allow moving parts to rotate or move smoother by reducing friction. Bearings of all shapes and sizes are widely used in many diverse industries. Most bearings are usually lubricated with grease and can operate up to a temperature range of 90-100°C. In certain high-temperature environments, however, standard bearings are unable

Specifying the guide itself is the easy-part learn how to avoid pitfalls in mounting, installation, and even choosing a plating. Linear guides are precision mechanical assemblies that operate as part of a system. As such, they can only perform to the degree that they are properly integrated into the overall machine. Merely specifying the appropriate

Industry Challenges: A loose fit for a bearing will lead to relative movement between mating components, resulting in fretting, smearing, scoring, wear, excessive heat, and/or fracture. A extra-tight fit will reduce the bearing’s internal clearance, which will increase the operating temperature of the bearing in operation. Increase in mounting forces required, but can lead to fracture
